JAKARTA (Reuters) - Alphabet Inc's Google was among the last remaining tech platforms yet to comply with Indonesia's new licensing rules late on Wednesday, hours from a deadline to sign up and avoid having its services blocked in the country.

Registration is required under rules released in late 2020 that would give authorities broad powers to compel platforms to disclose data of certain users and take down content deemed unlawful or that "disturbs public order" within four hours if urgent, and 24 hours if not.
